 There is something for everyone in Ottawa and Franklin County. Conveniently located just 45 minutes southwest of Kansas City, 30 minutes south of Lawrence, and less than an hour from Topeka and Emporia. Ottawa is a growing community of approximately 13,000 that has become a popular destination for day trippers and for weary travelers looking for a convenient stop outside the metro area. |
The Ottawa Area Chamber of Commerce is pleased to make this website available to the many people inquiring of our Chamber and our community.

Franklin County is one of the fastest growing counties in Kansas. Opportunities for primary and secondary education abound. Our health care facilities and programs are second to none. Our industrial base offers many opportunities to work where you live and raise a family. We are near five great boating and fishing lakes and our community has both east-west and north-south rail trails for biking and walking. The "good life" is right here in Franklin County!
